Added... before you police it... see that it is an accepted alternate spelling of pinkster (and pinxter) as in the pingster flower. Pinkster \Pink"ster\, n. [D. pinkster, pinksteren, fr. Gr. ?. See Pentecost.] Whitsuntide. [Written also pingster and pinxter.] Pinkster flower (Bot.), the rosy flower of the Azalea nudiflora; also, the shrub itself; -- called also Pinxter blomachee by the New York descendants of the Dutch settlers.
PS: My family settled in New Amsterdam in 1660. I think we had a pingster!
